What's the point of staying a virgin til marriage if there are no loyal virgins anyway? Why shouldn't I just stop caring and go to a bar, get a hook up online, or get a hooker? Why trade what I kept for damaged goods? It's not like staying a virgin has blessed me in anyway anyways. I know there's no chance in finding a decent girl. Girls are bound to be disloyal.

The word of the Lord came also to me, saying: You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who fathered them in this land: They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. But they will be as dung upon the face of the ground. And they will be consumed by the sword and by famine. And their carcasses will be food for the fowl of heaven and for the beasts of the earth. (Jeremiah 16:1-4)

There are good girls who think the same about guys and would love to find a decent guy, I know plenty within my social circle, family friends, church group etc. I also know the "dating field" is full of mines and risky partners in the western world, and it's only getting worse. I don't have any advice except be patient, pray for help and learn to filter the good from the bad.

>? Why shouldn't I just stop caring and go to a bar, get a hook up online, or get a hooker? Why trade what I kept for damaged goods?

People who actually enjoy that sort of life don't ponder doing it or think about ramifications, they aren't analytical and self-reflective, they will find themselves engaging in degeneracy just by impulse, cause it's fun for them, and the consequences won't matter much (until it's too late).

you need to find meaning and God before you find a woman or start a family. You should have a firm foundation for your beliefs and values before pursuing secondary goals.

>What's the point of staying a virgin til marriage if there are no loyal virgins anyway?

are you a voluntary virgin or involuntary? Getting involved with women you aren't looking to marry will just cause problems for you and for them. I've been dating the same girl for a few years now, when we started dating I just thought she was cute and had a nice personality but never thought of marriage. And now I don't want to marry her but I don't want to break up, because that would hurt her a lot, so I'm stuck in relationship limbo. There's another girl who wants to be with me and I think we'd be a great match, but I can't. Now if polygamy were a viable thing I wouldn't have this problem. But when you can only choose one partner for life you have to be very careful and know what you want.

Follow God's word and do not fornicate. You stay a virgin as to not sin against God by hiring a hooker or committing fornication with a woman that will use you like a condom. Staying celibate until you find a good virgin woman (good luck) will allow to to criticise whores without being a hypocrite.

BTW I feel like a hypocrite telling you this considering I masturbate twice a day; committing fornication and adultery in my heart.

Love God with all your strength, but if this is difficult for you, then do what you can, out of love, growing upward, stepwise. Keep God always in your thoughts, Who never changes, Who is always true, thus anchoring your negative mental attitudes. Toward that end, the following practice is easy to do and very fruitful:

>ALTHOUGH it takes much hard work, a good way to facilitate a constant dynamic awareness of the presence of God in your life is to develop a sense of mystical emotional engagement with your environment, along with a sense of gratitude for what God has given you. Here are some suggestions.

>In the morning, as you wake up, make the Sign of the Cross and give thanks to God for being alive, for breathing, and for praying. As you stand up and walk, give thanks to God for allowing you to move, to stand up, and to walk. Then pray the Waking Prayers.

>Then let your imagination encompass all that is in your house and give thanks to, and bless, it all. (For example, say softly, or just think the words, “Thank you for being here and for all you do; may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and protect you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”) If you have house plants or pets, or if other persons live in the house, give them blessings for physical or spiritual growth and for protection from evil.

The first person you sleep with is your wife according to God. Anyone there after is adultery. Virgins exist, you just have to date younger. The 13-16 age bracket depending on their sexual maturity. If she has reached puberty, its fine by God. You have to mold your perfect into the perfect wife like how God molds man. It takes time and dedication.

I’m pretty sure that not living in mortal sin is a blessing.

I’m sure that repeatedly telling yourself that will help you find one.

My own sister has been in one relationship, with my now brother-in-law. I have empirical proof that you are completely and totally wrong.

Around what age would you consider it a lost cause to seek a family and to just go with lifelong celibacy these days? My mother was supposedly a virgin until marriage, and she got married at 25, but dating culture seems so different compared to her discussion of it. It’s not even really a date if you don’t have sex, it seems. I’m creeping up on that age and the pieces are falling into place with my education and career development; if I want to have kids around 25 like my parents did, I would be out of college and probably starting graduate school, and I have a big family that at their current age are still more than willing to help support my family (a lot of them were finishing college when they had their kids, and while my late teens and early 20’s were not the fun college party times they are for most people, I’m at a crossroads to chase that dragon until I’m 30 or call it a loss and be a man like the 10,000 generations before me.

Thats strange, because you sure do sound like one. Let me list the reasons why:

>God is an ebil meanie that imprisioned me on this mortal plane

>God has no gender/is gender fluid

>thinks suicide is a smart idea to escape this mortal plane

>hates God's creation

Wether you know it or not, you are on the road to gnosticism. Pretty soon you'll start saying that you are an angel and everyone should stop making babies because it only perpetuates the cycle of suffering the ebil meanie God or the Demiurge has trapped everyone in.

I have. I've read it in its entirety. I've also read extrabiblical texts. I have no way to validate the opinions and claims of others. There's too much information in the world to do that.

>God has no gender/is gender fluid

I've never said god is gender fluid. I don't know if there is a god, goddess, or gods. I only gravitate towards Christianity because that's what I was brought up in. Like I would if I was brought up Muslim or Hindu.

Be aware that depression is often caused by unhealthy life choices, like a habit of negative thinking, being isolated, a lack of meaningful goals, etc. It's something that can easily be remedied, but it takes work and the will to see it through. The cross of Christ is the answer, however, to such struggle. By suffering along with the Savior, we can offer our pains as penance for the souls and sins of others, in conformity to the example set by Him. Just some thoughts, I hope you see better.

I don't need to read extrabiblical books to doubt the love of the God of your cannon. Just reading the Bible itself fills me with hopelessness. For every verse about love there's a thousand about how God hates sinners and is always pissed off about something like sticks and pillows.
